Well that was a great idea

Amongst other things, Chairman Mao banished holding hands, curling your hair and sparrows from China. But what, dear friends, did he outlaw in 1942?

(Just tried to insert a little picture of him dabbling at ping pong here, but the firewall doesn't like it - just picture the man standing flabbily behind the table, forehead as large as a ping pong bat.)

That's right, he banned irony and satire.
